I noticed the iTunes Store was down for a while about 30 mintues ago....Congrats guys, let us know how it is!

FreeState · 01:57 PM

Took about 4 to 5 minutes to download (cable on wireless N) and its been about 8 minutes installing with about 85% done....

EDIT:

it goes through the progress bar screen three times - the second and third times are much faster than the first.

petvas · Feb 12, 2008, 01:19 PM

Installing now! Almost finished

Chillijam · Feb 12, 2008, 01:20 PM

Downloading (slowly) in the UK - I wonder what it will give me*, given that movie rentals aren't an option here.

*I know - I'm downloading the update without knowing much about it at all. At least it is going on relatively cheap (reconditioned) hardware, so if I don't like it I can roll back and set my firewall to deny traffic to mesu.

ipedro · Feb 12, 2008, 01:20 PM

My

TV is outputting @ 1080p according to my TV!

filmguy15 · Feb 12, 2008, 01:20 PM

Awesome! Can't wait....

Now, let the complaining begin......

Is there now a setting for 1080P in resolution on ATV?

Alright, who is going to be the first to verify Bitrate max, etc for those of you who have HD movies?

See if they increased it, but didn't tell everyone like they are doing on the iPhone.

ipedro · Feb 12, 2008, 01:24 PM

Now Kevin, can you reveal now what took it so long?

JW008 · Feb 12, 2008, 01:25 PM

Any chance that 5.1 works on Handbrake encoded DVDs?

downloading now but it's very slow to download - I downloaded the 380mb 10.5.2 in about 10 minutes yesterday but it's telling me there are 24 minutes to go for this one

chme6583 · Feb 12, 2008, 01:29 PM

Downloaded on both Apple TV in two minutes. Update looks good. Very nice

Still using 10.4.7 - update dmg is 168mb if anyone is interested in poking around.

http://mesu.apple.com/data/OS/061-35...4-5274-109.dmg

There are two other updates apart from the dmg above. They appear to update the EFI and new firmware for the HDMI chips on board.

Hooray! I was going pick up my

TV on my way home from work today. So now I get the new software right away!
